PREFACE  TO  THE   FOURTH   EDITION. 


This  new  edition  has  been  carefully  and  thoroughly  re- 
vised, and,  it  is  confidently  hoped,  correspondingly  improved. 
The  French-English  part  is  now  given  in  full,  instead  of, 
as  hitherto,  with  somewhat  inconvenient  references  to  the 
English-French  part. 

The  additions,  which  are  very  numerous,  and  among 
which  are  several  most  useful  tables  never  before  printed  in 
any  similar  work,  have  not  been  made  with  a  view  to  mere 
increase  of  bulk.  The  object  constantly  and  steadily 
aimed  at  has  been  to  provide  officers  of  the  Naval  service 
with  a  really  useful,  and  essentially  modern,  vocabulary  of 
sea  terms  and  expressions.  No  attempt  has  therefore  been 
made  at  absolute  completeness.  Indeed,  if  we  but  bear  in 
mind  that  of  all  technical  languages  the  sea  language  is 
the  richest  in  vocables,  and  the  most  varied  in  forms  of 
expression,  we  shall  have  but  little  difficulty  in  realising  the 
fact  that  absolute  completeness  cannot  be  easily  obtained. 
The  language  of  sailors  has  indeed  been  enriched  by  all  or 
nearly  all  the  other  technical  languages.  The  Naval 
architect,  the  soldier,  the  artillerist,  the  astronomer,  the 
mathematician,  the   physicist,  the  naturalist,  the  engineer, 


Vlll  PREFACE   TO   THE   FOURTH   EDITION. 

the  business  man,  the  artificer,  the  mechanic,  and  a  host 
of  others,  have  all  contributed  to  the  wealth  of  its 
vocabulary  by  importing  into  it  many  of  the  words  and  ex- 
pressions derived  from  their  own  technical  phraseology. 
Hence  the  utter  impossibility  of  obtaining  absolute  com- 
pleteness within  the  compass  of  a  single  volume -of  moderate 
size. 

Besides,  is  completeness  such  a  desideratum? 

By  no  means.  For  general  purposes  absolute  complete- 
ness is  not  required,  and  is  positively  useless  and  cumber- 
some. What  is  wanted  is  an  essentially  modern  and  up- 
to-date  book,  or,  in  plain  words,  a  book  supplying  Naval 
officers  with  the  ordinary  sea  vocabulary  of  the  present  time 
— that  is,  the  vocabulary  composed  of  words  in  constant  use 
in  sea-faring  life,  and  found  in  books  most  likely  to  prove 
useful  to  a  sailor,  or  bearing  upon  his  profession.  Now  the 
many  thousand  words  contained  in  this  book,  the  numerous 
phrases  and  expressions  given  on  almost  every  page,  the 
information  imparted  here  and  there  by  means  of  notes, 
and,  above  all,  the  unremitting  care  bestowed  upon  the 
work  for  many  years,  contribute  to  make  us  hope  that  the 
object  aimed  at  has  been  reached,  and  that  this  new  edition 
supplies  the  requirements  of  Naval  officers  to  their  fullest 
extent.

PREFACE   TO   THE   THIRD    EDITION. 


In  this  new  edition,  which  is  considerably  larger  than  the 
preceding  ones,  the  object  constantly  kept  in  view  has 
not  been  so  much  to  give  a  complete  Vocabulary  of  all 
Nautical  Terms  as  to  make  an  essentially  modern  book. 
To  attain  this  desirable  end,  great  prominence  has  been 
given  to  words  having  reference  to  modern  ship-building, 
gunnery,  torpedoes,  etc.,  etc.,  whilst  a  goodly  number  of 
now  almost  obsolete  words  have  been  purposely  omitted. 
Nevertheless,  it  must  not  be  understood  from  this  that  the 
old  sea  language  has  been  completely  expunged  ;  for  whilst 
it  has  been  remembered  that  the  Nautical  vocabulary  has 
greatly  altered  during  the  last  forty  or  fifty  years,  it  has  not 
been  forgotten  either  that  old  expressions  are  still  much 
used,  and  will  continue  to  be  so,  as  long  as  sailing  vessels 
are  not  a  thing  of  the  past. 

Although  the  chief  aim  has  been  to  make  a  book  suited 
to  the  special  wants  of  Naval  officers,  the  claims  of  the 
Merchant  Navy  have  not  been  forgotten,  as  will  be  seen 
from  the  insertion  of  commercial  and  maritime  law  terms. 

It  has  not  either  been  forgotten  that  there  are  a  good 
many  books,  both  in  the  English  and  French  tongues,  in 


X  PREFACE   TO   THE   THIRD   EDITION. 

which  the  old  sea  language  is  alone  used ;  and  as  several  of 
these  books  are  still  much  read,  some  of  the  expressions  and 
words  they  contain,  though  now  quite  obsolete,  have  how- 
ever been  inserted  when  they  have  been  deemed  necessary 
to  a  full  understanding  of  the  text. 

As  this  book  has  been  in  use  on  board  H.M.S. 
"  Britannia "  for  several  years  past,  the  opportunities  of 
discovering  defects  and  correcting  mistakes  have  been  ample, 
and  have  not  a  little  contributed  to  the  improvement  of  this 
new  edition.  The  perusal  of  numerous  works  on  naval 
engineering,  ship-building,  theoretical  and  practical  gunnery, 
the  many  visits  paid  to  various  dockyards  and  ships  of  war, 
the  particulars  obtained  from  naval  officers  and  others,  and 
also  a  certain  amount  of  practical  experience,  have  enabled 
the  author  to  make  a  selection  which,  if  it  is  still  far  from 
perfection,  is  confidently  believed  to  be  far  in  advance  of 
the  previous  ones. 

A  special  feature  of  this  edition  is  that  it  contains,  in 
addition  to  numerous  sea  phrases  and  words  given  here  for 
the  first  time,  a  French-English  Vocabulary. 

In  short,  the  pains  that  have  been  taken  in  ascertaining 
the  true  rendering  of  every  word  and  phrase  have  been  such 
that  their  accuracy  can  hardly  form  the  object  of  a  doubt.

PREFACE  TO   THE  SECOND  EDITION. 


The  first  tentative  edition  of  this  book  appeared  about  a 
year  ago.  Since  then  no  pains  have  been  spared  to  rid  it 
of  the  few  mistakes  which,  in  spite  of  the  greatest  care,  had 
crept  into  it.  Hence  this  new  edition,  which  has  undergone 
important  alterations,  and  which  it  has  been  my  constant 
endeavour  to  render  as  useful  and  accurate  as  possible. 

Before  entering  into  details,  I  wish  to  mention  four  persons 
who  have  taken  a  keen  interest  in  this  work.  They  are 
Captain  F.  Bedford,  C.B.,*  Aide-de-camp  to  the  Queen,  and 
one  of  the  Lords  Commissioners  of  the  Admiralty ;  Admiral 
Barrera,  of  the  French  Navy,  and  Director  of  a  department 
of  the  French  Admiralty;  Captain t  S.  F.  Noel  Digby, 
of  H.M.S.  "Britannia";  and  the  Rev.  J.  C  P.  Aldous, 
Chaplain  to  Cadets,  and  Chief  Instructor  on  board  H.M.S. 
"  Britannia." 

To  Captain  Bedford  I  am  indebted  for  a  list  of  words 
now  frequently  used,  as  well  as  for  some  important  remarks 
and  corrections.     Admiral  Barrera  has  had  the  kindness  to 


*  Now  Vice-Admiral  Sir  Frederick  G.D.  Bedford,  K.C.B. 
t  Now  Vice-Admiral. 


Xll  PREFACE   TO    THE   SECOND   EDITION. 

furnish  me  with  particulars  which  I  could  not  have  obtained 
without  his  assistance,  and  which  are  not  to  be  found  in  any 
book.  He  has  taken  the  trouble  to  enlighten  me,  not  once 
only,  but  at  several  different  times.  Captain  Digby  has 
given  me  a  list  of  words,  and  explanations  on  some  doubt- 
ful points,  whilst  Mr.  Aldous  has  furnished  me  with  some 
important  additions  and  corrections. 

To  all  these  gentlemen  I  tender  my  best  thanks,  not  only 
for  the  trouble  they  have  taken,  but  also  for  the  encourage- 
ment which  their  friendly  interest  has  given  me  to  prosecute 
a  task  which,  after  all,  bristles  with  numerous  difficulties. 
These  difficulties  are  far  from  being  imaginary,  since,  of  all 
the  recent  books  on  Nautical  Terms,  there  is  hardly  one  free 
from  mistakes.  The  work  of  Lieut.  Tiret,  of  the  French 
Navy,  is  still  the  only  one  which  can  be  trusted.  Unfortu- 
nately, it  is  too  bulky,  and  does  not  give  certain  words  in 
frequent  use  nowadays.  The  other  books  are  neither  com- 
plete nor  correct.  Sometimes  the  English  is  not  English, 
or  the  translation  is  faulty;  and,  moreover,  these  defects 
are  found  on  every  page.  For  instance,  no  one,  not  even 
Lieut.  Tiret,  has  yet  given  the  correct  translation  of  such 
important  terms  as  compass  error  and  variation.  Such  are 
the  reasons  which  induce  me  to  say  that  this  book  is  much 
more  correct  than  those  which  have  preceded  it. 

I  may  be  permitted  to  add  that  my  experience  of  sea 
matters  has  been  principally  acquired  afloat,  and  in  my 
numerous  and  frequent  visits  to  French  and  English  dock- 
yards. All  the  principal  terms  used  in  naval  ordnance,  as 
well  as  in  the  theory  and  practice  of  navigation,  the  building 
of  war-ships,  etc.,  etc.,  and  the  words  of  command  most  use- 
ful to  officers  of  the  Fleet,  will  be  found  in  this  edition. 


PREFACE   TO   THE   SECOND    EDITION.  Xlll 

A  great  number  of  words  in  frequent  use  nowadays  will 
also  be  found,  though  no  other  book  of  the  same  kind  has 
as  yet  given  them :  for  instance,  search  lights  collision  mat, 
military  tops,  etc.;  as  well  as  notes  which  no  manual  of  sea 
terms  has  ever  thought  of  giving,  such,  for  example,  as  under 
the  words,  bow  f  aye,  aye!  compass  error, port  and  starboard, 
dog  watch,  and  many  others. 

Moreover,  the  alphabetical  order  which  we  have  adopted 
is  undoubtedly  the  best.  It  allows  one  to  find  a  word  in  a 
moment,  without  the  necessity  of  referring  to  such-and-such 
a  chapter. 

So  as  not  to  swell  too  much  the  size  of  this  book,  the 
phrases  and  expressions  which  it  contains  will  be  found 
under  the  characteristic  word.  For  example,  the  expres- 
sions, y?«^  half-mast -high,  tidal  harbour,  safety-valve,  must  be 
respectively  looked  for  under  the  words,  flag,  harbour,  and 
valve. 

The  tables  which  are  at  the  end  of  the  Vocabulary  are 
absolutely  correct.

It  is  a  mistake  to  suppose,  as  is  stated  in  some  English  works  on

grades.  Such  a  division  has  indeed  been  proposed,  but  never 
adopted  ;  and  to  this  day  the  circumference,  in  France,  as  well  as 
in  other  countries,  is  still  divided  into  360  degrees,  the  degree  into 
60  minutes,  and  the  minute  into  60  seconds.  The  signs  °  '  "

in  one  minute.  The  Cheval  vapeur  is  equivalent  to  75  kilogram - 
metres.  The  kilogrammetre  is  equal  to  the  work  done  by  the 
continuous  exertion  necessary  to  raise  one  kilogramme,  one  metre, 
in  one  second.  It  *  follows  from  this,  by  reducing  the  French 
measures  to  English  ones  by  means  of  the  Tables  given  at  the  end 
of  the  book,  that  the  French  horse-power  is  equal  to  32,550  lbs., 
plus  a  small  fraction  ;  or  in  other  words,  and  by  simplifying,  that 
the  English  horse-power  is  to  the  French  horse-power  as  220  is

The  word  '  visible '  in  these 
rules,  when  applied  to  lights, 
shall  mean  visible  on  a  dark  night 
with  a  clear  atmosphere. 

Art.  I.  The  rules  concerning 
lights  shall  be  complied  with  in 
all  weathers  from  sunset  to  sun- 
rise, and  during  such  time  no 
other  lights  which  may  be  mis- 
taken for  the  prescribed  lights 
shall  be  exhibited. 

Art.  II.  A  steam  vessel,  when 
under  way,  shall  carry  : — 

{a)  On  or  in  front  of  the

a  foremast,  then  in  the  fore- 
part of  the  vessel,  at  a  height 
above  the  hull  of  not  less  than 
20  feet,  and  if  the  breadth  of 
the  vessel  exceeds  20  feet,  then 
at  a  height  above  the  hull  not 
less  than  such  breadth,  so,  how- 
ever, that  the  light  need  not  be 
carried  at  a  greater  height  above 
the  hull  than  40  feet,  a  bright 
white  light,  so  constructed  as  to 
show  an  unbroken  light  over  an 
arc  of  the  horizon  of  20  points  of 
the  compass,  so  fixed  as  to  throw 
the  light  10  points  on  each  side 
of  the  vessel,  viz.  from  right  ahead 
to  two  points  abaft  the  beam  on 
either  side,  and  of  such  a  charac-

This  word,  nearly  always  incorrectly  written  '  loadstone, '  has  no 
connection  whatever  with  the  word  '  load.'  It  is  derived  from  the 
Anglo-Saxon    'ladu'    meaning    'direction.'     It    is    akin    to    the    old

Saxon  word  Madman,'  a  'leader.'  This  word  is  found  in  old  French 
as  'lotman,'  a  'pilot,'  a  'guide,'  and  to  this  day  the  French  word 
'lamanage,' is  still  used  in  the  sense  of  'pilotage.'  Chaucer  uses  the 
word  *  lodemanage '  in  the  same  sense,  and  calls  the  Pole-Star

a  nautical  mile.  un  ?fiille  7?iarin. 

The  French  nautical  mile,  like  the  English  nautical  mile,  is  the 
length  of  a  minute  of  latitude.  Though  it  is  different  for  every 
latitude,  it  is  considered  to  be  equal  to  1852  metres,  that  is,  6076*40 
feet.  As  the  Admiralty  mile  is  equal  to  6080  feet,  the  difference 
between  the  French  and  the  English  nautical  miles  is  then  equal 
to  3  "60  feet,  a  difference  which  it  is  hardly  necessary  to  take  into 
consideration  except  for  very  long  distances,  for  on  a  distance  of 
20,000  nautical  miles  this  difference  amounts  only  to  a  trifle  over 
13^  miles.  The  English  statute  mile  being  equal  to  5280  feet,  and 
the  nautical  mile  to  6080,  the  difference  between  them  is  then  800 
feet.  In  nautical  parlance  the  words  '  knot '  and  *  nautical  mile  ' 
are  synonymous,  and  allude  to  the  geographical  mile  of  60  to  the 
degree  of  latitude,  although  it  is  obvious  that  a  'knot,'  which  is 
a  division  of  the  log-line,  and  only  a  small  fraction  of  the  mile, 
is  not  the  same  thing  as  a  nautical  mile.

'  school  of  porpoises.'  This  provincialism  is  evidently  a  corruption 
of  the  old  Anglo-Saxon  word  Scdlu,  'a  band,'  *a  crowd,'  found  in 
old  English  under  the  form  of  Schole  and  Shole.

PORT — POWDER. 


127 


port  (side  of  ship). 


babord,  gauche. 


In  the  French  Navy  the  words  hdbord  and  tribord,  *  port '  and 
'starboard,'  have  reference  to  the  head  of  the  ship,  and  not  to  the 
helm.  Thus  the  command  babord!  'port!'  does  not  mean  that 
the  helm  is  to  be  put  over  to  port,  but  that  the  head  of  the  ship  is 
to  go  to  port.  When  the  order  refers  specially  to  the  tiller,  the 
French  officer  commands,  b&bord  la  barre  !  tribord  la  barre !  In 
English,  the  order  always  refers  to  the  tiller  supposed  to  be  used, 
and  the  kind  of  steering-gear  employed  makes  no  difference. 
The  v^'oxds  gauche,  *  left,'  and  droile,  *  right,'  are  now  used  in  the 
French  Navy,  respectively  for  babord,  *  port,'  and  tribord, 
'  starboard,'  words  which,  owing  to  the  ending  bord,  common  to 
both,  are  easily  mistaken.

In  France,  a  certain  number  of  men  are  taken  every  year,  mostly, 
though  not  exclusively,  from  the  sea-faring  and  fishing  population 
of  the  coast,  for  service  in  the  Navy.  The  names  of  the  men  are 
entered  when  they  reach  the  age  of  18,  and  remain  on  the  roll  until 
the  age  of  50.  The  men  are  arranged  according  to  classes,  e.g. , 
seamen,  carpenters,  caulkers,  &c.  &c.  This  institution,  better 
known  under  the  name  of  'Inscription  Maritime,'  dates  from

EXTRACT  FROM  THE  NEW 
RULE  OF  THE  ROAD. 

When  two  sailing  vessels  are 
approaching  one  another,  so  as  to 
involve  risk  of  collision,  one  of 
them  shall  keep  out  of  the  way  of 
the  other,  as  follows : — 

(a)  A  vessel  which  is  running 
free,  shall  keep  out  of  the  way  of  a 
vessel  which  is  close  hauled. 

{b)  A  vessel  which  is  close 
hauled  on  the  port  tack,  shall 
keep  out  of  the  way  of  a  vessel 
which  is  close  hauled  on  the  star- 
board tack. 


EXTRAIT     DE     LA     NOUVELLE 
REGLE   POUR   GOUVERNER. 

Quand  deux  batinients  a  voiless'ap- 
prochent  I'un  de  I'autre  de  maniere 
a  faire  courir  le  risque  d'abordage, 
I'un  des  deux  s'ecartera  de  la  route 
de  I'autre,  de  la  fa9on  suivante  : — 

{a)  Le  batiment  qui  court  largue 
doit  s'ecarter  de  la  route  de  celui 
qui  est  au  plus  pres. 

{h)  Le  batiment  qui  est  au  plus 
pres,  babord-amures,  doit  s'ecarter 
de  la  route  de  celui  qui  est  au  plus 
pres  tribord-amures,

RULE. 


(c)  When  both  are  running 
free,  with  the  wind  on  different 
sides,  the  vessel  which  has  the 
wind  on  the  port  side,  shall  keep 
out  of  the  way  of  the  other. 

{d)  When  both  are  running 
free,  with  the  wind  on  the  same 
side,  the  vessel  which  is  to  wind- 
ward, shall  keep  out  of  the  way  of 
the  vessel  which  is  to  leeward. 

(e)  A  vessel  which  has  the  wind 
aft,  shall  keep  out  of  the  way  of 
the  other  vessel. 

When  two  steam  vessels  are 
meeting  end  on,  or  nearly  end  on, 
so  as  to  involve  risk  of  collision, 
each  shall  alter  her  course  to  star- 
board, so  that  each  may  pass  on 
the  port  side  of  the  other. 

This  article  only  applies  to 
cases  where  vessels  are  meeting 
end  on,  or  nearly  end  on,  in  such 
manner  as  to  involve  risk  of  col- 
lision, and  does  not  apply  to  two 
vessels,  which  must,  if  both  keep 
on  their  respective  courses,  pass 
clear  of  each  other. 

The  only  cases  to  which  it  does 
apply  are,  when  each  of  the  two 
vessels  is  end  on,  or  nearly  end 
on,  to  the  other  ;  in  other  words, 
in  cases  in  which,  by  day,  each 
vessel  sees  the  masts  of  the  other 
in  a  line,  or  nearly  in  a  line,  with 
her  own  ;  and  by  night,  to  cases 
in  which  a  vessel  is  in  such  a 
position  as  to  see  both  side  lights 
of  the  other. 


It  does  not  apply,  by  day,  to 


(c)  Si  tous  les  deux  courent 
largue,  mais  avec  des  amures  de 
bords  differents,  le  batiment  qui  a 
le  vent  par  babord,  doit  s'ecarter  de 
la  route  de  I'autre. 

(d)  Si  les  deux  batiments  courent 
largue,  et  avec  le  vent  du  meme 
bord,  celui  qui  est  au  vent  doit 
s'ecarter  de  la  route  de  celui  qui  est 
sous  le  vent. 

{e)  Le  batiment  qui  est  vent-arriere 
doit  s'ecarter  de  la  route  de  I'autre 
batiment. 

Lorsque  deux  navires  a  vapeur, 
ont  le  cap  I'un  siir  I'autre,  ou  a  tres

le  risque  d'abordage,  chaque  navire 
devra  venir  sur  tribord,  de  fa9on  a 
ce  que  chacun  puisse  passer  I'autre 
a  babord. 

Get  article  ne  s'applique  qu'au  cas 
ou  les  batiments  ont  le  cap  I'un  sur 
I'autre  ou  a  tres  peu  pres  et  de  telle 
maniere  qu'il  y  ait  risque  d'abordage 
et  non  pas  a  deux  batiments,  qui, 
s'ils  suivent  leurs  routes  respectives, 
se  croiseront  sans  se  toucher. 

Les  seuls  cas  auxquels  cet  article 
s'applique  sont  ceux  dans  lesquels 
les  deux  batiments  ont  le  cap  I'un  sur 
I'autre,  ou  presque  I'un  sur  I'autre  ; 
en  d'autres  termes  les  cas  dans  les- 
quels, pendant  le  jour  chaque  bati- 
ment voit  les  mats  de  I'autre  en  ligne 
droite,  ou  a  tres  peu  pres  dans  le 
pronglongement  de  la  ligne  de  ses 
propres  mats,  et  pendant  la  nuit  le

light  without  a  red  light,  is  seen 
ahead,  or  where  both  green  and

When  two  steam  vessels  are 
crossing,  so  as  to  involve  risk  of 
collision,  the  vessel  which  has  the 
other  on  her  own  starboard  side

When  a  steam  vessel  and  a  sail- 
ing vessel  are  proceeding  in  such 
directions  as  to  involve  risk  of

keep  out  of  the  way  of  the  sailing 
vessel. 

Where,  by  the  above  rules  one 
of  two  vessels  is  to  keep  out  of  the 
way,  the  other  shall  keep  her 
course  and  speed. 

Every  vessel  which  is  directed 
by  these  rules  to  keep  out  of  the 
way  of  another  vessel,  shall,  if  the 
circumstances  of  the  case  admit, 
avoid  crossing  ahead  of  the  other. 

Every  steam  vessel  which  is 
directed  by  these  rules  to  keep 
out  of  the  way  of  another  vessel,

le  mot  barre.  Ex. :  bdbord  la  barre  !  tribord  la  barre  !  En  Angle-

est  suppose  se  servir,  et  le  genre  de  servo-moteur  employe  ne  fait 
aucune  difference.  Depuis  quelque  temps  on  a  substitue  les  mots

Le  mille  marin  fran^ais,  comme  le  mille  marin  anglais,  est  la 
longueur  d'une  minute  de  latitude.  Bien  que  cette  longueur  dififere 
selon  la  latitude,  on  la  considere  egale  a  1852  metres  soit  6076,  40 
pieds  anglais.  Le  mille  adopte  par  I'amiraute  anglaise  etant  de 
6080  pieds  anglais,  la  difference  entre  le  mille  fran(;ais  et  le  mille 
anglais  est  done  de,  3,  60  pieds  anglais,  difference  qu'on  peut  negliger 
excepte  lorsque  les  distances  sont  fort  grandes.  En  effet,  sur  une 
distance  de  20,000  milles  marins  la  difference  ne  se  monte  pas  a  plus 
de  13,  5  milles.

de  5280. 

Dans  le  langage  maritime  on  se  sert  souvent  du  mot  na:ud  pour 
designer  le  mille  marin.  II  faut  se  souvenir,  cependant,  que  le 
noeud  n'etant  qu'une  division  de  la  ligne  de  loch,  et  consequemment, 
une  petite  fraction  du  mille  marin,  un  noeud  ne  saurait  etre  la

TABLES. 


TABLES. 


French  Metric  System  of  Weights  and  Measures. 

The  system  is  decimal  throughout 

The  basis  of  the  system  is  the  mltre^  which  is  equal  to 
39*3708  inches.  The  mitre  is  divided  into  ten  parts,  called 
dkunltres ;  each  decimltre  into  ten  parts,  called  centimetres ; 
and  each  centimetre  into  ten  parts,  called  millimetres.  There- 
fore, I  metre  =10  decimetres  =  100  centimetres  =  1000  milli- 
metres. 

Square  and  cubic  measures  are  derived  from  the  metre. 
The  sub-divisions  of  the  square  and  cubic  measures  are  the 
same  as  for  the  linear  metre^  but  naturally 

I  square  metre  =  100  square  decimetres. 

„           „  =  10,000      „      centimetres. 

„           „  =  1,000,000      „      millimetres. 

I  cubic  ♦   „  =  1,000  cubic  decimetres. 

„           „  =  1,000,000      „      centimetres. 

n            ♦,  =^  1,000,000,000      „      millimetres. 

The  litrCy  used  for  measures  of  capacity,  is  equal  to  the 
contents  of  a  cube  whose  side  is  i  decimetre  long.  There- 
fore, a  cubic  decimetre  is  the  same  as  i  litre  (not  quite  an 
English  quart). 

The  gramme,  which  is  the  unit  of  weight,  is  equal  to  the 
weight  of  one  cubic  centimetre  of  pure  water  at  the  tempera- 
ture of  4  degrees  centigrade,  weighed  in  Paris. 

To  form  multiples,  the  words  deca  (10),  hecto  (100),  kilo 
(1000),  myria  (10,000),  are  prefixed  to  the  names  of  the 
particular  measure.  Thus  kilogramme  =  looo  grammes ; 
myriametre  =  10,000  metres.  For  the  sub-multiples,  the 
Krords  dtci  {■^),  centi  (yj^),  niilH  (ywiy)*  are  used  in  the 
same  manner  as  the  multiples,  e.g.  dkUitre  =yV  of  a  litre; 
centigramme = j^  of  a  gramme. 


TABLES.  423 

In  French  arithmetic,  decimal  fractions  are  written  as 
follows:  If  there  is  a  whole  number  before  the  decimal 
fraction,  a  comma^  and  not  a  point,  separates  the  two,  e.g. 
37,412  must  be  read  trente-sept^  quatre  cent  dotize  milliemes^ 
and  not,  as  in  English,  '  thirty-seven,  decimal  four  hundred 
and  twelve.'  If  there  is  no  whole  number,  a  o  must  always 
take  its  place ;  thus,  "075  must  be  written  0,075,  and  read, 
soixante-quinze  milliemes.  When  a  particular  unit  is  used, 
the  initial  letter,  or  the  first  two  or  three  letters  of  its  name, 
are  written  at  the  right-hand  top  side  of  the  whole  number 
or  o,  e.g.  : 

IS*"".  25  =  quinze  metres  vingt-cinq  centimetres. 

22m.q  o72i=vingt-trois  metres  carres,  sept  cent  vingt-et-un  cen- 
timetres Carres.  (N.B.  q  stands  for  the  old  vfoxd  qua7'r^, 
now  carrd. ) 

17"™-'=,  123456789  =  dix-sept  metres  cubes,  cent  vingt-trois  millions 
quatre  cent  cinquante-six  mille  sept  cent  quatre-vingt-neuf 
millimetres  cubes. 

3o'^-  =  trente  hectares. 

ygkm.  —  soixante-quinze  kilometres. 

75kii.  =  sQjxante-quinze  kilogrammes. 

1254*^^^,75  =  douze  cent  cinquante-quatre  francs  soixante-quinze 
(centimes).

N.B. — The  above  equivalent  values  are  only  approximate,  for  the 
sovereign,  at  mint  par,  is  worth  25*22  frcs. 

When  changing  English  money  into  French,  it  is  then  well  to  bear 
in  mind  that  the  rate  of  exchange  is  nearly  always  in  favour  of  English 
money.  The  sovereign  frequently  fetches  25*25  frcs.,  and  even  as  much 
as  25*37  frcs.,  though  sometimes  it  falls  much  below  mint  par.

TABLE  VI. 
The  Thermometers.      |  Thermometres. 

The  Centigrade  thermometer  is  universally  used  by  scien- 
tific men,  and  it  is  the  scale  most  generally  employed  on  the 
continent.     The  Germans  call  it  the  '  Celsius  thermometer.' 

The  Reaumur  scale  is  principally  used  in  Russia.  In 
these  two  scales  the  freezing  point  is  denoted  by  o,  and  the 
boiling  point  respectively  by  loo  and  80.  Therefore,  100 
degrees  Centigrade  =  80  degrees  Reaumur  =180  degrees 
Fahrenheit. 

As  the  indications  of  the  Fahrenheit  scale  begin  at  32 
degrees,  and  not  at  zero,  we  must  remember  that  in  convert- 
ing from  degrees  Fahrenheit  to  Centigrade  or  Reaumur,  32 
degrees  must  first  be  subtracted;  whilst  when  we  convert 
degrees  Centigrade  or  Reaumur  into  Fahrenheit,  32  degrees 
must  be  added  after  the  multiplication  and  division  have 
been  made. 

It  is  important  to  remember  that,  since  100  degrees  Centi- 
grade =80  degrees  Reaumur  =  180  degrees  Fahrenheit, 

5  degrees  Centigrade 
=  4  Reaumur 

=  9  Fahrenheit. 

Example  I.     Express  59°  Fahrenheit  into  Centigrade. 
9  *  5  :  •  (S9  -  32) :  Answer,  that  is,  5Ji^7  =  ig©  Cent. 

Example  II.     Express  95°  Fahrenheit  into  Reaumur. 

9:4::  (9  5-32):  Answer,  that  is,  ^~^  =  28°  Reaumur. 


TABLES.  431 

Example  III.     Express  28°  Reaumur  into  Fahrenheit. 

4:91:28:  Answer,  that  is,  ^^^  =  63,  to  which  add  32 
=  95°  Fahrenheit.  ^ 

Example  IV.     Express  25**  Centigrade  into  Fahrenheit 

5  :  9  : :  25  :  Answer,  that  is,  ^^^  =  45,  to  which  add  32 
=.77°  Fahrenheit. 

Example  V.     Express  25°  Centigrade  into  Reaumur. 
5:4::  25  :  Answer,  that  is,  ^^^^  =  20°  Reaumur. 

Example  VI.     Express  28°  Reaumur  into  Centigrade. 

4  :  5  : :  28  :  Answer,  that  is,  5Jii?  =  35°  Centigrade. 

4 

N.B. — If  the  number  of  degrees  Fahrenheit  to  be  converted 
into  degrees  of  the  other  scales  happened  to  be  below  32, 
the  results  obtained  would  be  negative,  that  is,  below  o. 

Example  VII .     Express  23°  Fahrenheit  into  Centigrade. 
9  •  5  -  (23  -  32) :  Answer,  that  is,  5JiIz9)  =  -  5°  Cent 


N.B. — See  next  page  for  a  Table  of  the  most  common 
degrees  of  Fahrenheit  into  degrees  of  the  Centigrade  scale.

(TABLE  X. 

Tide  Signals  in  French  Harbours. 

The  height  of  the  tide  is  indicated,  in  all  the  French  ports 
of  the  Channel  and  Atlantic  coasts,  by  means  of  flags,  and 
balls  hoisted  on  a  mast  crossed  by  a  yard. 

1.  A  white  flag,  with  black  cross,  at  the  mast-head  (fig.  A) 
denotes  "  high  water." 

2.  A  black  pendant  above  a  white  flag  crossed  with 
black  from  corner  to  corner  (fig.  B)  denotes  that  the  tide 
is  rising. 

3.  A  black  pendant  below  the  same  flag  (fig.  C)  denotes 
that  the  tide  is  falling. 

These  signals  are  used  when  there  are  2  metres  (about 
6  ft.  6  in.)  of  water  in  the  channel. 

4.  The  height  of  the  tide  is  also  indicated  in  metres,  and 
fractions  of  metres,  by  means  of  black  balls. 

(a)  A  ball  placed  at  the  intersection  of  the  mast  and 
yard,  indicates  a  depth  of  3  metres. 

(If)  Every  ball  placed  below  this  one  adds  i  metre, 
and  every  ball  placed  above  the  one  at  the  inter- 
section of  the  mast  and  yard,  adds  2  more  metres. 

(c)  A  ball  placed  on  the  left  side  of  the  yard,  as  seen 
from  seaward,  adds  25  centimetres  (J  of  a  metre), 
and  a  ball  placed  on  the  right  side  of  the  yard, 
adds  50  centimetres  (|  a  metre). 

5.  A  red  flag  at  the  mast-head  denotes  that  the  state  of 
the  tide  is  such  that  a  vessel  cannot  enter.  At  night,  two 
red  lights  are  used  instead  of  the  red  flag.

TABLES.  445 


TABLE  XIII. 

The  New  International  Code,  compulsory  since 
Jan.  1ST,  1902. 

The  flags  given  in  this  table  are  those  of  the  New  Inter- 
national Code.  This  code,  which  has  been  optional  since 
the  beginning  of  the  new  century  (1901),  became  compulsory 
on  Jan.  ist,  1902. 

The  old  code  is  therefore  quite  obsolete. 

The  international  code  is  used  by  the  ships  of  all  maritime 
nations,  and  is,  in  fact,  the  first  and  best  international 
language  ever  invented. 

The  letters  C  and  D,  when  used  alone,  stand  respectively 
for  'assent'  and  'negative,'  C  being  'yes,'  and  D,  'no.' 

The  code  signal,  when  used  as  such,  is  hoisted  under  the 
flags,  but  when  used  as  'answering  pendant'  is  hoisted 
above  them.

TABLE  XIV. 

International  Code. 

Distant  Signals. 

When  the  distance  is  so  great  that  the  colours  of  flags 
cannot  easily  be  made  out,  the  signals  given  in  this  table 
can  be  used  with  great  advantage.  This  code  is  charac- 
terised by  a  '  black  ball,'  which  serves  also  as  '  answering ' 
signal  and  '  stop.' 

These  signals  not  being  so  frequently  used  as  the  flag 
signals,  it  has  not  been  thought  necessary  to  effect  any 
change  in  them,  and,  in  consequence,  they  remain  un- 
altered. 

The  four  signals  given  at  the  bottom  of  the  plate  are 
special  signals.  They  are  easily  made.  A  hat  or  a  cap  may 
stand  for  the  ball,  and  a  piece  of  stuff,  or  a  plank,  may  easily 
be  made  to  represent  either  the  square  flag,  or  pendant. 

Signal  I  means  :  "  You  are  running  into  danger." 

,,       2      ,,      :  "Fire,  or  leak,  want  immediate  assist- 
ance." 
„      3      „      :  "  Short  of  provisions,  starving." 
„      4      „      :  "  Aground,  want  immediate  assistance."

TABLE  XV. 
The  Semaphore. 

The  French  semaphore,  now  so  very  generally  used, 
consists  in  a  mast  provided  with  three  long  movable 
wooden  arms,  represented  in  the  upper  part  of  the  plate. 

The  semaphore  is  employed  in  a  variety  of  ways,  and  has 
been  adapted  to  the  international  code.  When  used  in 
connection  with  this  code,  the  characteristic  of  this  mode 
of  communication  is  the  large  black  disc  with  a  white  rim, 
seen  on  the  top  of  the  mast.  According  to  their  position 
the  arms  stand  for  a  '  pendant,'  a  *  ball,'  or  a  '  square  flag.' 

Inclined  downwards  at  45°  the  arm  stands  for  a  ^ pendant.^ 
„        upwards      „  45°         „  „         'squareflag: 

and  when  horizontal    „    "         „         '  da//.' 

The  semaphore  is  extremely  useful,  not  only  because  it 
is  seen  farther  than  any  flag,  but  also  because  the  signals 
can  be  made  much  more  quickly  than  in  any  other  manner. 

JV.B. — No  alteration  has  been  made  in  the  semaphore 
signals  used  in  connection  with  the  International  Code.

TABLE  XVI. 

Weather  Signals. 

The  probable  weather  is  indicated  by  cones  and  drums, 
in  day  time,  or  by  lanterns  at  night.  The  cones  are  3  ft. 
high,  and  the  diameter  of  the  base  is  also  3  ft. 


Day  Signals. 

The  cone  with  the  point  downwards  (No.  i)  indicates 
probable  strong  winds,  at  first  from  the  southward  (from 
S.E.  round  by  S.  to  N.W.). 

The  cone  with  the  point  upwards  (No.  2)  indicates  strong 
winds,  probably  from  the  northward  (from  N.W.  round  by 
N.  to  S.E.). 

The  cone,  point  downwards,  with  drum  over  it  (No.  3) 
indicates  a  gale,  probably  from  the  southward,  whilst  No.  4 
indicates  a  gale  probably  from  the  northward. 


Night  Signals. 

At  night  the  cones  are  represented  by  lanterns  fixed  on  a 
triangular  frame  (Nos.  5  and  6).  Lanterns  of  any  colour 
may  be  used,  provided  they  are  all  of  the  same  colour,  but 
red  is  preferable. 

On  the  French  coast  certain  signals  are  hoisted  indicating 
the  state  of  the  weather  in  the  offing.  They  are  as 
follows  : — 

A  flag  of  any  colour :  doubtful  weather,  the  barometer  is 
inclined  to  fall. 


452  TABLES. 

Burgee^  of  any  colour  :  appearance  of  foul  weather ;  heavy 
sea ;  barometer  falling. 

Pendant^  of  any  colour :  better  appearance ;  improving, 
barometer  rising. 

Flag  above  burgee :  the  entrance  of  the  port  is  getting 
dangerous.     Beware ! 

Burgee  above  flag  \  The  lifeboat  is  going  out  to  you. 

In  fine  settled  weather  no  signal  is  made. 

N.B. — In  England  the  drum  is  not  used  now,  but  it  is 
still  so  in  France  and  in  Germany. 

In  the  latter  country  a  black  ball  indicates  an  atmos- 
pheric disturbance.  A  red  flag  over  the  ball  means  "  wind 
likely  to  veer,"  and  two  red  flags  over  the  ball,  "  wind  likely 
to  back." 

In  France,  telegrams  are  sent  to  all  the  ports  when  any 
dangerous  atmospheric  disturbance  is  likely  to  occur.  The 
telegram  is  posted  in  the  part  frequented  by  seamen,  and  a 
cone  hoisted  at  once.
